MINIATURE KNITTING:

I have recently started knitted some "combinations" for a 1/12th." scale male doll. I am knitting it with sewing thread. At the moment I am nearly at the top of one leg, and it has taken a total of ten and a half hours to knit, so far. I will finish it eventually, although I really enjoy doing miniature knitting, so I don't mind how long it takes to knit it!

About Me

I have several hobbies but my first hobby is doll collecting. I have been collecting dolls since 1957, and I don't think I will ever stop!
I have always enjoyed making dolls houses, room boxes and dioramas, but I am now running out of space!
I also enjoy making dolls with modelling clay, time permitting, and miniature knitting for tiny dolls is also one of my priorities.
I have recently renewed my interest in writing, and I have always enjoyed reading, in particular, travel books, as I am an avid traveller! I collect foreign costumes including hats and shoes.I also enjoy hiking, (and climbing mountains when I have the opportunity, and time!).
